To use an analogue input, you can use the DAC+ ADC. However, I'm not aware of a software that can use the input for multiroom audio distribution. You might have a look at Logitech Media Server (LMS).There is an LMS plugin for this:https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104680-WaveInput-for-LinuxHowever, I don't have any personal experience with this and can't say how well this works.

Multiroom audio software like LMS/Squeezelite or Roon has a lot of intelligence integrated that synchronises multiple players.

One thing that's also important to understand: Music in different rooms will never be exactly in sync as the speed of sound is quite slow. If one speaker is 3m away and the other 13m, the sound from the first one will be 30ms earlier than the sound of the other one, even if both rooms are in perfect sync.

unfortunately with multiroom with Airplay would require Airplay2 and there are no open source implementations available for this.Therefore, with Airplay you can only use Airpay with a single player at the same time.

not with Airplay. This would require Airplay 2 and Apple does not allow Open source implementations for this. You can set up a streaming server (e.g. Logitech media server or Roon) and control it from your iPhone. These systems allow to send audio to multiple players you select.
